A 44th person has been charged following violent disorder in Southport and Liverpool. Violent scenes flared in Southport on July 30 and then in Liverpool city centre and Walton on August 3.

Police vans were set alight and officers were attacked during protesting on St Luke's Road in Southport on the evening of July 30. A planned protest at the Pier Head on August 3 then descended into violence, with Merseyside Police forced to use riot gear after bricks and debris were thrown towards PCs.

The disorder then continued on County Road that night as chaos, violence and destruction ensued as looters targeted businesses in the area. This included a fire being started at Spellow Library and Community Hub.

Today, Rory Allington-Mott, 34, from Newport, Shropshire, was charged with violent disorder relating to the incident in Southport. He has been remanded into custody to appear in court on Monday, August 19. The total number of people arrested in connection with the disorder now stands at 75.

An ex-Mafia hitman serving life gets more time in the slaying of gangster James ‘Whitey’ Bulger
A former Mafia hitman already serving life in prison was sentenced to 25 years Friday in the 2018 fatal prison bludgeoning of notorious Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger. Prosecutors said Fotios “Freddy” Geas used a lock attached to a belt to repeatedly hit the 89-year-old Bulger in the head hours after he arrived at the troubled U.S. Penitentiary, Hazelton, from another lockup in Florida in October 2018.
